Hello, |
2 |
|
3 |
first: where should I ask the following question? |
4 |
|
5 |
We successfully operate some HP Proliant DL380 G3, using Gentoo |
6 |
Xen-kernels as Dom0 and DomU. |
7 |
Now i tried to upgrade to Generation 4 and 6: |
8 |
* HP Proliant DL380 G4 |
9 |
* HP Proliant DL380 G6 |

Grub works fine. After selecting a kernel to boot, it is loaded and |
12 |
starts operating and fails some lines later with a kernel panic. The |
13 |
kernel seems not to find the HP SCSI controller (/dev/cciss/...). |
14 |
|
15 |
I made sure, that the kernel has build in the needed drivers as |
16 |
described here: |

Funny is, that the Gentoo boot images do work, for example |
20 |
install-x86-minimal-20100216.iso. |
21 |
|
22 |
I use the iso images to boot the system initially, initialize the SCSI |
23 |
disks with fdsik and mkfs... and then mount the SCSI drives |
24 |
(/dev/cciss/...), copy a working tarball-image, populate the filsystem |
25 |
and then use the grub shell make it bootable. |
26 |
|
27 |
Attached is a screen shot with the error message. |
